The Son Always Rises, but the Daughter Sleeps In: A tale of OPB*

*Other People's Boogers

Friday, March 29, 2002

Friday afternoon, and work has slowed to a crawl and so has the clock. I"m looking forward to the weekend and a trip to Shelburne Falls with Ben and Liz.

This week has been calm, but Grace is spinning in my head. Grace Kelly Greenberg is the main character of a novel I've been writing for the past 10 years. OK, only 2 of those I've been actively working on it. But I'll perhaps post some excerpts here. I don't expect anybody to see them. But perhaps it could help me get them done.

About Me

My name is Margaret, but people that knew me before 1988 usually call me Meg. I grew up in The People's Republic of Cambridge and I used to live next door in Somerville. (Which is much cooler than Cambridge these days despite a conspicuous lack of public green-space). I graduated from Sarah Lawrence College in 1992, and to this day I have mixed feelings about that. I I'm married to a fabulously handsome and kind man and I have 2 really neat kids. We also have 2 cats and live in a Victorian in Melrose with a huge porch. I consider myself the luckiest person in the world most of the time. I have a lot of love and stability in my life. It may be unearned, but it is reciprocated and appreciated.
